Is it possible to export in a .xls, .txt or .whatever file my indicator's values?

MT4 has functions for writing CSV or Binary files.

You could add file writing to indicator code...

Or...

Write a script/indicator using iCustom() calls to get indicator values and write to a file

https://docs.mql4.com/files

Thak you all! That's very relevant for me!

OK. I made my script and in C:\Programs\FXDD - MetaTrader 4\experts\files I expected to find several csv...

Assuming that every script like this below - or more complex - is rightly to output one or more files into the directory above...

----------------------------------------

int start()
{

int handle;
datetime orderOpen=OrderOpenTime();
handle=FileOpen("filename.csv", FILE_WRITE|FILE_CSV);
if(handle>0)
{
FileWrite(handle, Close[1], Open[0], High[0], Low[0], TimeToStr(orderOpen));
FileClose(handle);
}

return(0);
}

----------------------------------------

... why nothing happens, neither there nor in different folders?

Thanks,

Do you get an error?

Your file writing code works fine here.

The fact is:

1. I have my C:\Programs\FXDD - MetaTrader 4\experts\files folder empty;
2. I launch the script;
3. No compiling errors;
4. My C:\Programs\FXDD - MetaTrader 4\experts\files folder is still empty;
5. In the "Experts" terminal page I found " 'test' ( - my script - ) is compiling" even after a lot of time;
6. So I tried to restart the platform but... terminal.exe did not even open and did slow down pc as if there were heavy pendent processes.

I must plan to reinstall the platform,

Replies are always very appreciated.

OK. I found it. I realized the only way to make the script work is to drag and drop to Graph...

Thanks a lot.

MT4 build 200 has been ready with historical data dowloader. You may find on Menu-Tool-Historical data. Just export to CSV file.
